Micro-spherical resistivity (RMSL)

This is an acronym for a well log used in the oil and gas industry. The code RMSL is a unique identifier to recognize this particular log and can be found in any (ASCII) log files provided by the logging company. The official name for this log is 'Micro-spherical resistivity'. This log is often used in the industry. This log displays readings of the measurement of the resistivity of the formation, by a spherically focused tool, within the first few inches of the borehole wall.This log usually has the unit 'Resistivity'. This is the property of a material which resists the flow of electrical current. The ratio of electric-field intensity to current density. The reciprocal of conductivity.

Data for this log is produced by a tool that uses a spherically focused logging technique and can be used to investigate the resistivity of the formation. Similar logs are listed below:
